Arkfall Code of Ethics

[K1LLSVV1TCH]

Am I surprised that someone named after an "off" button missed the point? No, I am not.

It's actually an off switch... Probably a single pole switch. And the name for the band was derived from an X-Files episode of the same name. Also am I surprised that someone who would set their avatar to be a pouty faced ***** would complain about ethics in a video game? No, I am not.

looking at the updated Arkfall COE, I feel you should remove the grenade part, for the simple reason of a perk called "Deadly Cascade" now obvously some don't realize when a skit bites the arkfall, it then falls back and enters a cocoon which it then morphs into ether an archer, or a warrior, here's the issue.

Major Arkfalls have hundreds of people sometimes, inside minor zones, this can cause lag, and makes skitterlings ignore making a cacoon and instead insta-transform into a warrior or an archer... also:
something to add, no more then 10 people in a Minor, unless it is the last minor, or fewer then 2 remain.

Why? The game uses number of people in the arkfall radius to determine it's difficulty, this difficulty is dynamic and changes with each radial burst. It also determines the life of the crystal itself, by minimizing the number to 10, the Monarch never spawns at the final burst. Anymore then 10, and it consistently occurs. It also lowers lag during minors, and let's them be beaten faster.

I can definitely agree with removing the grenade part, as the general idea of what we need falls under "don't kill needed skitterlings", but limiting the number of people kinda destroys the spirit of the game. I don't really think the difficulty spike is that tremendous, but that's opinion!

i really dont care what you use to kill. just dont kill the skitterlings that are going to bit the crystal

I understand the point that is trying to be made here and what people are trying to get accomplished. However please don't forget that not only is an arkfall a "team" effort, there's a score card at the end which means it's also a competition. In that if I need to kill your skittering so it decreases your damage so I can be up higher on the scorecard at the end....well that's the business of being a arkhunter.

Great idea, but 80% of Defiance players never actually use the threads. So, most tips, guides, and codes are wasted .

Oh, I completely understand, and for the most part agree! The only thing that annoys most people, I think, are when that goes to extremes. I've actually had time run out because people were just killing. I appreciate you not being a ****** in disagreeing with me, too. Tells me you're probably a pretty sharp guy.

Think of it this way! If you don't help out your Ark-Brethren then they won't help you out!

For me, it's less difficulty more... finish the bish as fast as you can and enjoy the lootz. cause I love lootz
